At least both Devs of those 2 project still updating their game daily with decent content and playtime in each update compare to how slow Dev erahunter are, an entire year for 1 update with a couple minutes playtime and then completely silent without any news about the game progress or even some tease that they still working on it. I'm fine with unfinished games that have been develop for 3-5 years but it need to have decent content and frequently updates so supporters can expect and know when it will came out and what is new in that update than just sideline and ignore the patreonsI'm not saying there aren't any examples of those that ever finished a game via Patreon. And not all of those that are going on for years and years are as bad as this guy either.
But still ... I tend to prefer a finished product since it's very common for a 'work in progress' to get a major rework at some points which totally invalidate your saves, forcing you to start over. This is not something I'm willing to do bar any possible exceptional exceptions.
From what I can tell games like Alansya Chronicles (still going after like apparently 5 years) or Renryu Ascension (also apparently 5 years) are still going after many years. Though I can't say those are going to be bad games, it's hard for me to commit to something unfinished as I'm the 'binge watching type' that just hits it & quits it. I play a game, tend to 100% it where possible and move on, never looking back again.
